  LMFAO, very wittily done! I’ll have to get a couple of
  people to sing it through with me. You didn’t attend
  Greenwood in Cummington, MA by chance? We used to have
  a canon contest every summer.

    Please (!) make a recording if this performance happens.

      Um, such a performance would necessitate downward transposition on my part, but I’ll see what I can do.

  It strikes me that, whether he’s been canonized or not, some of Nancarrow’s canons have become canonic.

    Very true. I’ll add that those Purcell catches are pretty catchy.

  This is hilarious. I’d love to hear it if somebody makes a recording. This is the first time any of my academic prose has been set to music – maybe next it’ll be “Musical Canonization: The Opera” ;).
